Material and Methods: Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat model, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and normalglycemic rat models were investigated at the doseof 100 and 200 mg/kg,&lt;em&gt;p.o&lt;/em&gt;. of PP-EtOA. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; At 200 mg/kg, significant anti-hyperglycaemic activity(&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05) was observed in all the rat models. In STZ induced diabetic rat model, improvement in body weight and lipid profile was also observed.DPPH (2,2&amp;rsquo;-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging method showed dose dependent scavenging. Preadipocyte differentiation assay (3T3-L1) showed significant inhibition of differentiation. HPLC fingerprinting analysis of fraction was also performed. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; PP-EtOA possesses potent free radical scavenging property. Its antihyperglycemic and antiadipogenic activities may be due to quercetin (flavonoid) and may prove to be effective in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and diabetes driven dyslipidemic conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">463</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gaurav Sharma&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Sunil Kumar&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Megha Sharma&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;,&amp;nbsp;Navneet Upadhyay&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Sunil Kumar&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Zabeer Ahmed&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Neeraj Mahindroo&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
